Yep ^^^ and within 2 months (hopefully) it should be the most powerful and fastest N/A 2zz Celica on the planet (valve clearance pending - we need to plastigauge the pistons/valves).
2.0l stroker, 9000rpm, standalone, 304* duration on the inlet cam and 296* on the exhaust cam with 12.5mm and 11.68mm of lift respectively, long tubes + straight through, 13.1:1 compression, ported head, 5.0:1 Final Drive, custom IM, 90mmTB and more, but those are the main parts. Oh and nitrous for emergency's

If only there were true gloss plastidips. I know there is a "glossifier" but all it does is make it look like shiny matte. I mean imagine if there was a plastidip that would look like actual gloss paint and be that cheap and temporary to do *sigh*

not having to dry the car is a big plus too as the rubber leaves no water spots.

This plastidip stuff - is it like a matte black from an aerosol can? It looks evenly applied and well executed in the pictures, but how does it look up close and under strong sunlight or headlights at night? I sprayed my Celica matte black (from a can - it's my race car and it gets battle scars from time to time) but up close and at angles, it does look a bit cheap and tacky due to seeing the imperfections - I want to know if that's the case with your car now?
Here's a pic of my Celica - it looks 'even' here, but that's the camera lying:

So after watching a few videos I went out and got two gallons of plasti dip, two gallons of thinner, some tape, and an electric spray gun.
came out flawless. Would never do it with paint and wrapping always turns out crap, or you have to spend big $ to do it right.
so for $250... Im Batman
also I had some texturing on the trunk and hood, all i did was use some thinner and a sponge to smooth it out and sprayed another coat, so the stuff is very forgiving and easy to work with.

This would be my advice, but some people seem to like it.

Were you on Newcelica.org? What was your username...?
I miss my Celica everyday. I could never sell that thing. Ever.

Ive plastidipped the tank on my motorcycle. It just peels off in a big sheet. It blends well with no spray lines. Currently its green. I wouldnt do my car with it... but its cool stuff.
